Changing Epistemologies and Life. Symposium and Roundtable Discussion,

Uppsala University, 7 October 2016

This public symposium gathers a group of internationally renowned anthropologists with long-time affiliations to the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Uppsala University. In building on the scholarly work and academic legacy of retiring Professor Hugh Beach, symposium participants have accepted to revisit anthropological epistemologies of ethnicity-related phenomena and/or the topic of human-animal-nature-culture relations. In tandem with the contributions of the symposium speakers, a public roundtable discussion will be organized, with academics and activists, reflecting Professor Hugh Beach’s many years of involvement with applied anthropology.
